We are an award-winning independent publisher founded in 2011 striving to ensure that the mainstream is not the only stream. More than a company, we are a community of writers and readers exploring the larger questions we face as a global village. It is our intention to preserve contemplative storytelling. We publish full-length introspective works of creative non-fiction, literary fiction, and poetry. Join us.

Donating to Homebound Publications

Your donations will be placed towards expanding the number of titles we are able to accept each year, giving a voice to the countless independent thinkers currently neglected by the mainstream media. Following the merger of Random House and Penguin, five media conglomerates control 80% of the books published in the US. Supporting independent publishing has never been more vital!

What does my contribution go towards?

Your gift goes towards helping us expand our vision. Currently, we publish 15-20 titles per year. In time we hope to expand our staff and take on 25 titles per year. Your generosity will help us to reach this goal sooner. Your gift goes towards supporting Homebound Publications.

For as little as $2500.00 we can add an additional poetry title to our publishing year; for $5,000 we can add a fiction offering. Examples of what your donation will go towards are: New title development, ISBN purchases, cover art commission, ebook and audiobook production, promotional materials (such as bookmarks, release poster and so forth), and yearly operating expenses the press incurs as we keep our current titles in print.

Is my donation tax deductible?

No, your donation is not tax deductible. At present, Homebound Publications does not hold a non-profit status. If you choose to give to Homebound it would be considered “a gift to the press“ to help nourish our current and future endeavors.

Do I receive anything for my donation?
